Subaru Rally Team USA's head honcho Bill Stokes gives the inside story of how Travis Pastrana's "Family Huckster" Subaru GL with active aero came to be and why it made an appearance at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed (where it placed 5th overall).
Bill Stokes has a cool job. In fact, as the Motorsports Manager for Subaru of America, he may have one of the slickest gigs in the automotive industry. A few weeks ago, both Bill, and Ryan Douthit (our guest co-host on this episode), attended the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed and on this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ podcast we talk to both about their experience.
We also learn what it was like to turn a 1983 Subaru GL wagon into an 860-hp, 5th place overall finisher, with Travis Pastrana behind the wheel. And Ryan talks about what it was like to capture media. This was a fun episode that we all hope you’ll love!
